mappr mentioned by people we respect

Four nice write-ups about Mappr today.

Thomas alerted us that the Wall Street Journal has a piece about online photo sites:

Sometimes, the results are remarkable. Mappr's programmers searched Flickr for all shots tagged "Route 66," and then plotted them. Sure enough, the pictures wound from Chicago to L.A., with stops in Kingman, Barstow and San Bernardino. Oh, so pretty.

There is also a PC Forum recap in Barron's. Mappr is Stanford GIS website of the week, and Penn State has a class on new media and digital arti criticism which uses Mappr as an example, along with Cassidy's Graffiti Archeology and In The News arch-rival and beater-to-the-punch Newsmap.

I'm especially tickled by the academic links.
